Mr. Goliandin is a graduate of the Moscow State Academy of Choreography (Bolshoi Ballet Academy). He began his artistic career as Principal Dancer with the Natalia Satz Musical Theatre (formerly the Moscow State Opera and Ballet Theatre) in Moscow, Russia, where he performed many lead roles to critical acclaim. Mr. Goliandin moved on to Italy where, for a decade, he performed as a Principal Dancer with the San Carlo Theater Company in Naples, Italy. In that capacity, he collaborated with acclaimed choreographers such as R. Nureyev, R. Nunez, and F. Monteverdi, among others. He performed lead roles in many classical ballets from Swan Lake to Sleeping Beauty.

In 2007, Mr. Goliandin graduated with Honors from the Moscow State Academy of Choreography with a degree in Pedagogy and Choreography.
